In the darkness, a lavender light flickered. Mena curled up on the ground, looking a little dazed.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the darkness around her made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Has anyone solved the mystery I left behind?" A light voice sounded in the darkness.
Mena was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and turned around abruptly.
She saw an illusory figure with white hair, handsome face, and wearing an old-fashioned suit, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.
"Who are you?" Mena subconsciously wanted to raise her staff, but found that her hands were empty.
"Don't you remember me?" The white-haired figure said with some emotion, "I was the one who gave you the name when you were born."
Hearing the shadow's words, Mena was stunned for a moment, and her distant memories slowly revived. Then she widened her eyes, "You are...Grandpa?"
"It seems you remembered." The shadow nodded.
Mena looked at the shadow in front of her suspiciously. Although the figure looked similar to her grandfather, she clearly remembered that her grandfather had died many years ago.
It was also at that time that Grandpa handed over the position of Speaker of the Arcane Council to Lareina.
Mena was a little confused.
"I know what you are thinking. I am indeed dead. What you see now is just the phantom I left in the arcane book." The shadow said lightly.
Mena was even more confused, but soon she discovered that the "grandfather" in front of her had changed, and a large black mist emerged from his body.
"This is the spell about the soul that I left behind." The shadow said lightly, walking towards Mena step by step.
"You are a believer in the arcane, and have even reached the extraordinary level. Then you should understand the essence of the arcane." The phantom came to Mena and stopped.
"Arcane represents a kind of power of order. By compiling spell runes, various magical spell effects can be achieved."
"Flame!" A flame appeared out of nowhere in the darkness.
"Frost!" An ice arrow also appeared.
"And...arcane!" A lavender light lit up in the darkness.
Mena watched this scene quietly. She knew all of this, but she didn't understand why this "grandfather" said this.
"In fact, the fire and frost you see all come from other laws. It is the arcane that comes into contact with other laws and then simulates them to form spells."
"The major schools of fire and frost spells were born from this." The shadow continued.
Hearing this, Mena was stunned. She knew that the arcane frost and fire were simulated, but she didn't know that these two powers were simulations of the other two laws.
She suddenly remembered the fire demon that burned down Joseph's wizard tower. Joseph's fire spells were vulnerable in front of it.
So, does arcane fire spells come from the law of fire that the fire demon believes in?
While Mena was thinking, the shadow in front of her emitted a thicker fog, and the black fog almost swallowed Mena.
"Soul... that is the power derived from the law of blasphemy. The forbidden spells about the soul in this arcane book were also taken away by me from the law of blasphemy." The shadow said lightly.
Mena looked up.
Blasphemy… She had no idea what that was.
But she soon thought of the huge black snake in the lava.
As if seeing through Mena's thoughts, the shadow nodded, "Yes, that is blasphemy. When I found him hiding in the volcanic cave and consuming the flames, I took action against him."
"Any unknown law is worth exploring, so I took away the soul power from Blasphemy and constructed this soul-forbidden spell."
As the shadow's voice fell, a familiar arcane book appeared out of thin air in the darkness.
"Immortality, this is the spell I created. It can give you the power of immortality. As long as your soul power is not extinguished, you can be reborn."
As the shadow continued to speak, the arcane book floated from in front of him to in front of Mena.
Listening to "Grandpa's" story, Mena was completely shocked.
Immortality? What kind of crazy power is this?
Mena was a little bit unbelievable. If this spell could really make people immortal, then why did her grandfather die anyway? In the end, only this book was left?
"You don't need to doubt it. I will die because I have been cursed by a blasphemous curse. The power of taking souls from the blasphemous gods has cursed me. Even this forbidden spell cannot bring me back to life." The shadow explained.
As he said that, he changed the subject, "Besides, I can't learn this spell, or rather, no one can learn it."
"What?" Mena was stunned again.
"The power of Undying Death possesses the authority of profane souls and contains the power of the arcane. This spell is my most outstanding work, but to learn this spell, you need to have both profane and arcane law affinity."
"It's impossible for a person to have affinity for two laws at the same time." The shadow sighed.
It was at this moment that Mena finally understood why she had not been able to learn the spell of immortality until the end. It turned out that this spell was impossible to learn. Then what was the point of being imprisoned by Lear for so long? Mena bit her lip, but then she thought, if she couldn't learn it, then Lear couldn't learn it either.
After all, one needs to have affinity for both the laws of Arcane and Blasphemy at the same time. Lear has the dual laws of War and Arcane, so it is impossible for him to have affinity for the law of Blasphemy!
Thinking of this, Mena felt much better. She wondered what Lear's expression would be when she told him the news later. "Do you want to learn this spell?" While Mena was thinking, the shadow in front of her spoke again.
"Can I learn?" Mena was stunned.
"Yes." The shadow nodded. "Normally, a person cannot have two kinds of law affinity at the same time, but this arcane book has become a law relic. Kill the big snake and integrate its law power into this arcane book. Then you will have the affinity of the law of blasphemy!"
The shadow's tone became serious. Mena opened her mouth. Was this the reason why the arcane book called her here? "As long as I kill the big snake, I can learn this spell?" Mena was a little excited.
"Yes." The shadow nodded in response.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Mena smiled, "As long as you kill the big snake and integrate it into the arcane book, you can learn the spell. But Lear can only watch but can't learn it anyway!"
She couldn't wait to chop the snake into pieces! "Go, my descendant." The shadow in front of her began to become illusory, leaving only one sentence before disappearing, as if it had completed its mission.
The darkness before her eyes quickly dimmed, and when Mena opened her eyes, she was back in the burning cave.
In front of her was her mother's face. Lareina was holding her and looking at the giant snake in the lava with a cold expression.
"Mother." Mena was a little dazed looking at the mother in front of her.
"Mena?" Lalena turned her head and saw that Mena had woken up. She was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine?" Mena nodded, then stood up from Lalena's arms.
"What happened just now?" Lareina ignored the giant snake in the lava and asked Mena.
"I know the secret of the arcane book." Mena smiled, but did not explain. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the giant snake not far away. "Mother, let's kill this snake together, and I will explain it to you later."
Hearing her daughter's words, Lalena frowned, but didn't say much. She picked up the staff.
The mother and daughter didn't waste any more time and attacked the snake directly. Meiya on the side was also not idle.
Various spells were cast towards the snake, but after Lareina joined in, how could the snake resist? It was soon forced into a desperate situation.
At the last moment, the snake roared, like a roar of despair, "Damned mortals, let's bury them together!"
The giant snake roared, and a terrifying black mist poured into the magma below, and then the entire cave began to shake.
"What's going on?" Mei Ya managed to steady herself.
"This damn giant snake is actually planning to detonate a volcano?" Lareina saw the giant snake's intention.
This volcano is not far from the Royal City of Kalia. If it explodes, even the Royal City of Kalia will be affected.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The staff in Lareina's hand emitted an even brighter light, and a powerful spell was condensed to kill the snake on the spot.
But how could the snake let Lareina do what she wanted? She dodged desperately.
At this moment, a flash of sword light appeared.
The big snake that was frantically dodging Lareina's attacks suddenly stopped and looked at the big sword sticking out of its chest with an expression of disbelief.
The densely packed snake heads and tiny arms on the greatsword bit into his body, and he could feel his strength being devoured.
That is the blasphemous holy sword.
His relic of law, he saw that scene when his main body was killed. The blood demon left him no room for resistance, and he could only face death.
And now this blasphemous holy sword appeared before his eyes.
"Lear?" The sudden appearance of the figure startled Larena and the other two girls, but soon their attention was attracted by the ferocious sword in Lear's hand.
Li'er smiled. This blasphemous holy sword had never been shown to Lalena and others.
"Let's do it." Lear looked at Mena, as if he knew her secret.
Mena was a little hesitant. Looking at the terrifying sword, she felt uncomfortable all over. However, she quickly made a decision and came to the big snake.
The arcane book emitted light and black mist surged out, finally binding the giant snake.
The big snake did not resist at all, it was already frightened by the profanation of the holy sword.
Everything went smoothly, and soon the big snake was swallowed into the arcane book.
When the giant snake was swallowed into the arcane book, Mena felt like she had gained a new spell. She successfully learned the immortality and death spell that she had never been able to learn before.
Seeing this scene, Li Er smiled. The fluctuation of magic could not escape his eyes. He said to Mena, "You should fulfill your promise and teach me the spells in this arcane book."
Hearing this, Mena smiled slyly, "Of course, I will keep my promise!"
Without saying a word, Mena directly outlined the spell runes of immortality and death, which were mixed with a hint of blasphemous power.
Lareina and Maya also looked at it curiously, but the two girls gave up after just a short while. Both of them were geniuses in the arcane and they also felt the mystery of this spell.
This is not just arcane power, but profane power as well.
Mena was a little proud. She wanted to see Lear's disappointed expression after he failed to learn the spell, but Lear disappointed her.
Li Er looked at the runes in front of him, and the information of the spell appeared in front of him, requiring 40% affinity for Arcane Law and 10% affinity for Profane Law.
Lear successfully learned it under Mena's shocked eyes, which made Mena furious.
Everyone returned to the royal city of Kalia.
A few days later, Lareina successfully took office as a member of parliament. All of Joseph's evil deeds were made public, and those royal nobles were also held accountable.
…
A month later, Lear returned to the Royal City of Soros and waited until the war with the Rhodes Empire.
A large main quest was launched, and a large number of players joined the quest. With the help of the player group, Lear won the war.
Emperor Rhodes was unwilling to accept the defeat, so he ordered the high-ranking officials of the Golden Church outside the Decision Mountains to come, but they were still defeated by Lear.
Emperor Rhodes abdicated, the ancient dragon princess inherited the throne, and Li Er established the Blood Temple in the Rhodes Empire.
Afterwards, Lear returned to Soros, only to find that something had gone wrong with the war trial. The mad beast spirit reappeared, possessed the player, entered the trial space, and released the forbidden beast of extinction.
The extinct beast was about to awaken. At the critical moment, the goddess of war took action and asked the believers of the Church of War outside the Decision Mountains to rush over, including the queen who created the Aslan Royal Swordsmanship.
The current queen is not yet a queen, but a princess of the empire. After seeing Lear's Aslan's royal swordsmanship, the two of them fought each other.
Lear and the princess fought fiercely, and in the end they were evenly matched.
Afterwards, everyone entered the trial space, trying to deal with the extinction beast that was about to break the seal, but because the extinction beast had swallowed the crown of blood, its strength became too strong.
In the end, only Lear, a professional who also possessed the law of blood, was able to fight. With the help of Lillian, Lear barely resisted the Beast of Extinction's control over blood.
But he still couldn't win, so Lear chose to retreat temporarily. He needed to be promoted to a saint.
The goddess of war descended and temporarily sealed the entrance to the trial space, but it could not be sealed for too long. The fact that Lear was the Blood King was also exposed because of the battle with the Beast of Extinction.
Lear did not explain, but returned to the old dream, ready to complete the task of exceeding the attribute limit and instantly be promoted to a saint.
When Lear came back, he had become a saint and broke through the restrictions of the rules.
Lear then successfully killed the beast of extinction.
The seal of Decision Mountains was also opened, and the game entered the next version.
Lear returned to the Fortress of Faro. Ancient Dragon, Morning Star, Blood and Flame all came to the Fortress of Faro and established a city of heretical laws.
